Graduated from Staffordshire University in July 2009 with a First Class Honours Degree in Surface Pattern Design. Lucy is inspired by the ever changing trends in fashion and lifestyle, alongside artists and designs both past and present to create designs with and original and unique twist. Lucy's ceramic work is inspired by the dramatic sky lines of New York, concentrating on silhouettes of the tall sky scrapers. Lucy is also inspired by the Art Deco era as shown in her use of geometric shapes and graphical linear drawing. She creates her designs by making a stencil of the buildings, and then sprays the glaze through the stencil onto the ceramics, to create the feel of a hazy city sky line. Lucy also uses ceramic pens and draws free hand onto the top of the ceramics for a more dramatic effect. |   |
